How do I get this phone to hold a charge for a day? Right now I get about 6 hours of battery life if I am lucky on decent use.
It is rooted on a black ice rom, running that Franco kernel. Is there something that I am not doing? Do I have to overclock it or?
I seriously almost traded it it for an iPhone just because of the battery issue. Like, it drives me insane and it takes away my freedom lol
Any help would be great

if you're only getting 6 hours, then you're a heavy user. Not much you can do about that, except use your phone less or charge it more.
Run stock for a while...

I'm on sprint and out of the box it was bad bad battery life. I'm sticking with it though hoping someone comes up with a way to get better life out of it.
Use an app like CPUSpy to see if your CPU is ever going into Deep Sleep mode, and an app like BetterBatteryStats to figure out why not. You can also look at Settings > Battery to see what's using up your battery. Tapping the graph at the top may give you more details.
I really am not a heavy user.
So switch it back to stock?

Usage varies man .. i have decent battery life so far with Franco 185 linaro with AOKP linaro rom. I keep the governor set to conservative . And I do overclock as much as I can ...might even be better if I didn't do that . But I get around 10- 14 hours on that setup . I text a good bit and twitter occasionally but spend most of my time on flud news reader. If you stream music all day or Netflix or something then you aren't going to get great battery life .
Make sure your screen brightness isn't high when you don't need it to be ..since the screen is generally what uses the most battery .
My best battery was with lean kernel and slim rom 4 ...but since I went to this new linaro I will forfeit a little battery for fluidity.
The key is just to experiment. There are lots of combos out there and they all work differently for us. There isn't exactly a one stop solution . Just tinker and you will find the light
Ps: I have the 2200 extended battery from Verizon . It is a necessity if you wanna get normal usage. They are listed at forty bucks or something through Verizon ...but if you go to the store they sell them for 20.

Best solution would be to get an extended battery to last you the whole day or an extra cheap one to swap with at the middle of the day
What is your screen on time?
Verizon user?

Yes, do this before blaming the phone. Also pay attention to the apps you install and see if any of them are causing the problem. Stock roms are usually less buggy than custom roms.
You would also get more help with your Question in the actual Q&A section.

Yes I am on Verizon
And how do I check my on screen time?
And I just noticed that my brightness was half way lol.
And that battery idea is good. I will just get an extra one and keep it in my wallet.

Hi I'm new to the x. How long are peoples phones lasting I got to charge least twice a day..bit of a joke lol
Any tips for the x
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have my X for 2 months now and on a stock rom i was charging it once per day,sometimes once per 2 days (that depended on how much i was ''playing'' with it).But when i was charging it I've tried to charge it for at least 8-9 hours.I always left it to charge through night and i had a phone for a whole day long. When you bought your X did you charge it for about 12 hours 2-3 times ? They told me at the shop where i bought it that i should do it-otherwise it wouldn't last for half of a day...Maybe that's the thing you didn't do ? Cheers
Don't know mate I traded my nexus for the x. Wouldn't know that kind of thing. I do charge her fully though. I know my nexus only needed one. Im running the x on 2 cores. WiFi not on when locked etc. Turned auto sync off. I dimmed the brightness a bit but like the one x screen so dont want to lower it to much. Might have to start turning it off of something when I don't need it

You aren't just playing with it a bit to much, since you got it recently? Otherwise, try installing ARHD Rom and Faux or Franco kernel.

rom
maybe ARHD can help
after installing this , it really increase the battery life
Not overly playing be honest.the shell and hardwares different but ROMs dont vary to much. I'll try arhd again maybe.

Try with a custom kernel also!

Try ARHD. I have it myself and the battery lives longer on my X than before
I always get about one day out of it (with tbalden's CM10 rom).
Try to run BetterBatteryStats to get a grip on what is consuming power! (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats)

On ARHD rom 7.22 with stock kernel, i can get about 4h screen on time with about 24-36 stanby time surfing, reading, twitter/fb and some navigation. Screen brightness is incredibly important, values are for brightness 20-30%.

battery sucks
ARHD rom 8.00 with stock kernel and Sense 4.1 looks like that there is better battery life.
I might try arhd.
On the off chance it would work I used a battery calibrator app (yes it doesn't always work)
It has made a difference though. I also discovered that even though the green led came on and the battery icon showed full it was actually only 91% charged. Thanks to the app I even noticed..

Yup, that's default for most ROMs. 90-100% battery results in a green light

Have HOX for one day, at first charge 26h on battery, 15% left and still running with wifi on, recent calls, sms, internet, camera. Played dead trigger about 15mins. Played with phone, set interface and all settings for personal usage, wached couple of youtube videos, played couple of songs via speaker, run 4 benchmarks (antutu ate 2%, quadrant 0%), surfed net, downloaded apps and so on..
Why the hell are u whining about the battery life. With that kind of a screen battery is great. Still did not pushed core fire to system/app. With little of optimization battery would last 2 days with medium usage. I mean what do you want?
Best experience for now, no complains at all. Had Galaxy S3, and it sucks compare to this. Looks ugly, feels ugly, Touchwiz feels ugly, why the f.uck u need SD if u have 32gb of free space + cloud .. i mean come on .. its a phone (if it had 128gb of memory and no SD slot there would be the same issue). Removable battery, i bet 1% of people have 2 or more batteries and those who need such a thing, are not buying phone quad core with 5" screen. What else? Screen got scratches, i dropped and it crashed .... Really?
There are bugs for some % of products, thats why there are warranty for god sake. On my personal experience i know only one perfect phone with absolutely no complains - Nokia 3310.
My advise, HOX! Go for it and do not listen for 95% of bull**** posted on the internet.
Its not whining its a statement mate.its fine now. There's no issue with finding out how people resolve it etc. I like my x. You never had a phone you were unsure of at first?
And yep the 3310 was bad ass I had three of them. No complaints either with that phone. Least we didnt spend so much time messing about it.

Havnt had the One X for that long but Iv realized that having a No-Sense Rom installed you can increase the battery life. I went from 2 times a day to just once a day. Of course Screen Brightness does play an important role as well.
I just wanted to ask if anyone could make a guide to getting really good battery life, on any rom or stock(I'm on stock, stock kernel) I get around 7 hours of life with moderate use mostly texting all day but I used to get 16+ hours before I refreshed a few times. Someone made a guide for the galaxy vibrant for me before so I wanted to know if anyone could do that for this phone? Also does turning animation off on this phone (stock rom) and GPS off make a huge difference in battery life cause to me I get the same battery life. Thanks guys

Hi, I recently got this phone and I installed pacman rom on it and I noticed the battery is dying very quickly. I didn't spend enough time on stock to make a comparison but I just wanted to know if anyone else running this room had the same problem. This is actually a used phone, so the battery just may be at the end of its life. I ordered a new battery to be safe.

I picked up a one X today for a really good deal, even though I didn't really need a new phone. I currently have a tmobile Samsung galaxy s2 that I like but I like changing phones once and a while. So is the One X a good phone for normal use? I've heard the battery doesn't last long, is this true?
Thanks guys!

yeah, my battery usually lasts only 3-3.5 hours screen on time with moderate use i.e browsing/sms/music/facebook at 35% brightness. Usually have to recharge it twice daily to get through the day. Performance is decent, and so is the camera.
If you recharge it twice during a day you have wakelocks or a bad batt. I am currently on cm11 rom and i got 12hrs stand by and 4,5hrs of screen on time which is pretty decent. Also on sense i got 4hrs screen on and i never charged it twice. So my guess is... It will get you trough the day. But you may expect different things then i from it

alright I've used it a couple days and the battery lasts plenty long for me on the 4.2.2 update. I just gotta send it in to get the usb port fixed as it won't connect to a pc.
Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, it's very good phone, enough fast/snappy (for me atleast), tried it hand by hand with galaxy s4, and s4 is not much faster.
Bad things are battery and heat, and front camera in room, or somewhere where is light lower than on sun.
the phone is good, battery not so much (old story...); anyway, the worst thing is tegra3 in my opinion, as HTC doesn't support it anymore... my next phone will be a qualcomm device
all in all, even if there is no more support and sense roms are "only" android 4.2.2, the custom ones are very good... i wouldn't buy a HOX again, but i won't sell mine
As others have said, the battery life is the one thing that lets this phone down. Everything else about it is excellent. It may not be able to compete with the latest smartphones but for a casual user it's still an excellent phone. The only other thing to be aware of is that the device will not get any more updates, so no KitKat. 4.2.2 is fine, though.
